ChainLink is developing the LINK Network, which will enable connected smart contracts. LINK will provide smart contracts with a variety of external data and access to APIs. ChainLink's goal is to solve the connectivity problem that plagues smart contract based systems, and discourages mass adoption. Many decentralized applications are unable to connect with important external data sources due to limitations involving their consensus protocols. The LINK network wants to connect their smart contracts with external systems and APIs by using secure middleware.

The Elrond blockchain platform is designed to be a public development infrastructure that will be more secure, efficient, and scalable than other blockchain platforms. The Elrond blockchain is aimed at DApp developers and enterprises. Elrond will have a Prof of Stake consensus mechanism, and will include an Adaptive State Sharding feature that will allow multiple validators to process transactions in parallel.

Komodo is a blockchain building platform that is focused on developing anonymity and security focused solutions. Komodo's platform, which was originally a fork of ZCash, is powered by the KMD token, and enables users to send anonymous transactions. Komodo has a delayed Proof of Work consensus algorithm.
Komodo also operates Chainmakers and Chainzilla; which assist clients in creating their own blockchains, decentralized applications, and initial coin offerings. Komodo also provides services related to wallet integrations and blockchain security.
Komodo held the first ever decentralized ICO and pioneered the concept of a dICO. Their goal is to allow users to more easily build blockchain solutions and decentralized exchanges. They are developing a decentralized ICO (dICO) platform as well as a decentralized exchange platform called BarterDEX.
